Reclusive novelist Thomas Pynchon is providing a guest voice spot to an upcoming episode of "The Simpsons" and is reportedly such a big fan of Homer that he
edited one of the jokes.
The National Book Award-winning writer, who has appeared in three episodes
of the long-running Fox comedy, insisted that the writers on one of his
episodes remove a line in which Pynchon's character says, "Marge is a
great cook. No wonder Homer is such a fat-ass."
...On faxed notes to the Simpsons staff, Pynchon wrote, "Sorry, guys. Homer is my role model and I won't speak ill of him."
He also changed a few of the
lines to incorporate some Pynchon puns. Originally, Pynchon was supposed
to describe Marge's cooking as "scrumptious." The publicity-shy author
of V changed the line to "V-licious."
